1 Comprehensive Risk and Performance Attribution Northfield Information Systems 2007 Research Conference Ocean Reef Club Key Largo, Florida Barry Feldman, Ph.D., CFA Prism Analytics prismanalytics.com October 22, 2007
2 Highlights A theory of attribution Returns-based risk decomposition Portfolio-based performance attribution
3 1. Theory
4 A new approach to attribution (Feldman, 2007) Start with a model of utility maximizing behavior Consider a random order model of the relative importance of the factors contributing to utility Look for a distribution over orders to describe the probability of being ordered by relative importance Assume Random order consistency Functional separability Exclusion Proportional marginal attribution (PMA) is The unique resulting expectation of factor contributions A powerful and theoretically consistent attribution method
5 2. Returns-based risk attribution
6 Returns-based risk attribution / decomposition Let the utility function of an analyst be the R 2 of a factor model and use PMA This PMVD Let the utility function of an analyst be based on the R of a quantile regression and use PMA This is PMQD Linear covariance decomposition or LCD is the standard method of variance decomposition The key advantage of PMA over LCD and statistical significance measures is that PMA is designed to take factor correlation into account
7 3. Variance decomposition: The two-factor case
8 Example: Portfolios of SPDRs and VIX futures 120% 100% PMVD Risk Share LCD Risk Share 80% SPX Risk Shares 60% 40% 20% LCD is not share monotonic 0% 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% -20% SP500 Portfolio Share PMVD SPDR attribution in blue, LCD SPDR attribution in red Horizontal axis shows SPDR portfolio percentage LCD gives negative attributions and those over 100% Correlation between SPDRs and VIX: -0.64
9 Standard variance decomposition (LCD) in the general two-factor case Attributions diverge to plus and minus infinity as factor correlation approach -1.0
10 PMVD in the general two-factor case PMVD attributions are independent of correlation in the two-factor case
11 4. Negative factor relationships
12 Portable alpha example: A portfolio long the RAFI 1000 and short the Russell 1000 PMVD Factor Model PMVD exposures consistent with the factor model RAFI 1000 performance data courtesy of Research Affiliates.
13 Portable alpha example: PMVD and LCD compared PMVD 250% LCD Counterintuitive exposures Correlation induced bias Colinearity inflation RAFI 1000 performance data courtesy of Research Affiliates.
14 5. PMVD put to a statistical test
15 Laudus Rosengberg Long/Short Fund Is the LCG PMVD attribution reasonable? Factor Beta T-Stat p-value PMVD LCG -18% % LCV -20% % MCG 36% % MCV -20% % SCG -52% % SCV 36% % INTL 9% % EMERG 2% % HighYld -8% % LT 16% % TBILL -252% % R 2 : 55.52% Basic factor model Combined LC factor Factor Beta T-Stat p-value PMVD LC -35% % MCG 36% % MCV -22% % SCG -52% % SCV 37% % INTL 9% % EMERG 2% % HighYld -9% % LT 16% % TBILL -254% % R 2 : 55.19% F-test constraint p-value =.47 Correlations degrade LCG stat. sig. levels
16 6. Extreme positive colinearity
17 Example from Feldman (2006): LB US Long Term Credit LB U.S. LT Gvt LB U.S. Credit LB U.S. Gvt 8/93 10/97 8/98 2/05 Data supplied by Ibbotson Associates.
18 PMVD shows evidence of a structural break PMVD 8/93 10/97 8/98 2/05 LCD LB U.S. LT Gvt LB U.S. Credit LB U.S. Gvt Data supplied by Ibbotson Associates.
19 PMVD: December 1992 to August % 80% 60% 40% 20% 0% Dec-92 Jun-93 Dec-93 Jun-94 Dec-94 Jun-95 Dec-95 Jun-96 Dec-96 Jun-97 Dec-97 Jun-98 Dec-98 Jun-99 Dec-99 Jun-00 Dec-00 Jun-01 Dec-01 Jun-02 Dec-02 Jun-03 Dec-03 Jun-04 Dec-04 Jun-05 Dec-05 Jun-06 Dec-06 Jun-07-20% -40% 40% 35% 30% 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% 0% OAS/ LC Yld Data courtesy of Morningstar.
20 40% 35% 30% 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% 0% OAS/ LC Yld % 80% 60% 40% 20% 0% PMVD analysis based on daily data -20% -40% Data courtesy of Morningstar.
21 OAS/ LC Yld 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% 40% % -100% -50% 0% 50% 100% 150% 200% 250% LCD with daily data Data courtesy of Morningstar.
22 Long-term credit example conclusions PMVD appears to capture information in credit markets, sometimes before it is reflected in spreads Many historical events clearly identified Other factors also reflected in PMVD results Noise likely also present (Gromping, 2006) LCD appears to capture little information
23 7. Proportional marginal quantile risk attribution
24 Quantile regression Koenker and Bassett (1978) and Bassett and Chen (2001) Exact analogy to least squares Estimate conditional quantile (e.g. median) instead of conditional mean Minimize the sum of absolute quantile deviations Attribution approach is exactly analogous to OLS Operational difference with OLS: choice of quantile
25 PMQD example: Analysis of CTA performance Based on Premia Capital Management daily P/L for 2005 Sector PMVD Quantile 1% 50% 99% Agriculture 20% 66% 16% 10% Energy 13% 31% 10% 58% Metals 19% 1% 26% 7% Livestock 37% 2% 34% 5% Precious 1% 0% 8% 19% UST5TR 10% 1% 7% 0% R1 or R2 1.9% 24.5% 1.5% 3.2% PMVD and median quantile PMQD components similar Agriculture and energy dominate 1% quantile downside risk Energy dominates 99% quantile upside potential Metals and livestock show median quantile risk but little tail risk P/L data courtesy of Premia Capital Management.
26 8. Portfolio performance attribution
27 Attribution of portfolio performance Use a utility function to quantify the benefit of historical or forecast investment performance of an optimized portfolio of assets Determine the utility share of each asset Divide the utility share of an asset by its portfolio weight This is proportional marginal performance attribution (PMPA)
28 Standard portfolio optimization problem MANAGER Historical Return Adjusted Std. Annualized Sharpe Return Adjustment Return Dev.

29 Performance attribution example: Assets and performance characteristics MANAGER MVO Portfolio Annualized Sharpe Allocation PMA PMPA Ratio DFA U.S. Large Company Institutional 5.2% 6.3% Robeco WPG 130/30 Large Cap Core Intl 11.8% 13.1% Bridgeway Ultra-Small Company 8.5% 7.2% ProFunds Real Estate UltraSector Svc 1.9% 0.3% AllianceBernstein Intl Growth C 15.7% 16.3% Oppenheimer Emerging Growth A 0.0% 0.0% Matthews China 21.7% 25.0% Putnam High Yield M 0.0% 0.0% Vanguard Long-Term Bond Index 32.6% 31.3% Mellon Short Term U.S. Govt Secs M 2.7% 0.6% PMPA: Proportional marginal portfolio attribution PMPA takes manager correlations to the portfolio into account PMPA results surprisingly similar to to Sharpe ratio for some managers
